Good morning! Today is the day before the catalog goes LIVE! I am so ready to get my hands on some new products, aren't you? While we wait (and count the seconds until 1:00 CST tomorrow!), I want to share a fun project I made last week.

As I have told you in the past, I love to make fun little gifts to put in my Class To Go Gifts. Sometimes it's just a tag, sometimes it's a small candy, and sometimes- it's a motorcycle pencil! I searched around online for something to go with my one Wild Ride Class To Go. I finally decided on these really fun pencils.I just loved the tire eraser!

I made a pretty simple tag to attach- a motorcycle stamped on a Stitched White Circle, layered on a Pumpkin Pie Scalloped Circle. I cut out the sentiment and added it to the center with a Dimensional. And like everything I do, I had to add a twine bow! This twine is retired, but was from last Fall's Holiday Catalog.

I attached them to the pencils with Dimensionals. How fun!

These would make great party favors, don't you think?

I love this view!! Those tires are erasers!! I hope you have a wonderful afternoon! Check back tomorrow for Catalog Launch Details and a new video!

Good morning everyone! I am excited to announce my ONE one only Class To Go for June! (As you know, my kids are home for the summer, so I will only be doing one To Go class in June.) And, I think you are going to LOVE it! The Wood Words Bundle, which includes the stamps and the Wood Crate Framelits, is hands down my favorite product in the new catalog. So, I had to make it the star of the first class I offered!

The Wood Crate Suite of products will prove to be one of Stampin’ Up’s most popular bundles this year! It’s a wonderful group of products that will serve you in all your gift giving opportunities.

This class will show you six ways to use your new bundle to it’s fullest potential! Included are a basic daisy crate, an extra wide crate, and extra tall crate, a crate with a chalkboard sign that holds gift tags, a fancy fold pop up card and an apple crate treat holder.

This class to go has four options:

Option #1 $70

This is the full Class To Go Kit. It includes the clear mount Wood Words Bundle (stamps and Framelits- a $46.75 value!) and all six Make and Take materials. When you choose this option, I am also throwing in a pack of Wood Textures DSP and a bolt of 1/4" Daffodil Delight Double Stitched Ribbon for FREE! You will also receive the full PDF tutorial. Email me for registration link.

Option #2- $34

This is the Class to Go Kit for those of you who already own the Wood Words Bundle. You will need the stamps and framelits to create these projects, so only choose this option if you already own them. You will receive all six make and take kits, a pack of Wood Textures DSP and a bolt of 1/4" Daffodil Delight Double Stitched Ribbon! You will also receive the full PDF tutorial. Email me for registration link.

Option #1 and #2 both ship priority for $7.

Option #3- $15

PDF only- want to cut your own cardstock and already own the products? This is the option for you. If you purchase the PDF Only option, you will be immediately emailed the links. If you do not receive them within five minutes of purchase, please email me! Purchase just the PDF here.

All class kits and included product will be ordered and prepared together after the deadline. This is a preorder only and per SU policy, I do not have product on hand ready to ship. Because of this, it takes about 1 week after the deadline for me to order, cut, prepare and ship all the class kits.

In order to be in compliance with Stampin' Up, I can no longer list the registration link here on my blog. You must email me to register for option 1 and 2. Class Kits can only be mailed within the United States. If you live out of the US, you can still purchase the PDF.

Hello everyone! Can you believe it? only FOUR days until this catalog goes LIVE! I can't wait to put in my first order!

Today, I have another project to share with you from my recent BINGO event. It features lots of new products.

This is a Mini Pizza Box! It holds small things like Hersey Nuggets or maybe a large cookie. On the top, we decorated it with Lemon Lime Twist Fresh Florals DSP and a Lovely Words die cut. The colors we used are Lemon Lime Twist, Melon Mambo, Basic Black and Whisper White.

We backed the words with a Whisper White oval and added a mini paper clip and small piece of Lemon Lime Twist Woven Ribbon. I didn't design the box- that comes from Pootles and you can find her tutorial here.

Hello everyone and welcome to the May addition of the fancy Friday Blog Hop! I am so excited because we have ONE WEEK for the new catalog to go live! My list is SO LONG! Have you made your its yet?

Today, we are featuring the In Colors and specifically color combos using the In Colors. I chose o use new Berry Burst along with Old Olive and Bermuda Bay!

I chose to use the beautiful Hostess Set called Tranquil Tulips. How beautiful are those flowers? They are a two step stamping set. That means you layer stamped images over one another to get the desired effect. It's actually pretty easy because the stamps are Photopolymer (completely clear) and you can see where you are stamping. I cut some of them out and popped them up on Dimensionals.

Also featured here is a new Designer Series Paper called Color Theory. Doesn't it look like a paint swatch from the hardware store?

The words I stamped around the circle are actually from another set called Eastern Beauty. I wanted to get a circular text and these seemed to work well. The ribbon is new- Bermuda Bay Mini Chevron Ribbon. I actually cut off the long edge and pulled out the fibers and tied a bow with them. I love doing this! Not all ribbons will do it, but those does! And lastly, those sparkly dots! You are going to LOVE these! They are called Glitter Enamel Dots. In fact, they are so amazing, the SU Demos actually depleted the entire inventory during the pre order period! Ha! They will be back in stock on June 5th though. Yay!

I actually stamped the images again on the inside. This sentiment in also from the Eastern Beauty stamp set as well.

Thanks for stopping by tonight! Make sure you keep hopping along. Next up is my friend Becky!

Dudes and Drinks: Two mini classes each featuring a different stamp set.

Hello everyone! Today I can finally share some of our Bingo pictures from last weekend. I had to wait until last night's Online Bingo event was over because I didn't want to spoil anything!

Everyone received a swag bag with Metallic Epoxy Stickers, a bolt of twine, a package of Cello Bags, a package of Dimensionals and a package of Mini Paper Clips. In their bag, they also had four make and take packets. They each received two bingo cards and a door prize coupon.

For my local event, we are able to play eight games. I had all the prizes set out, plus a few extras in case of some ties- which we did have!

Our last game is always a blackout bingo and the prize is BIG! This was this year's grand prize.

Lots of fun door prizes as well!

We played a few games, made a few projects, played a few more games, made a few projects... We also had lots of yummy snacks to eat!

So of eight games, we had two different people win twice! Norma got two prizes that night!

Lisa seems to win every single time I have Bingo! She's a lucky girl!

And speaking of LUCKY! This lady won twice and then won the Blackout Grand Prize! And, in a weird twist, she has actually won the Grand Prize at the last THREE Bingo events! Isn't that CRAZY! She claims she never wins anything except when she comes to my events. I think she needs to play the lottery!! I will show you the projects that we made over the next few days. Here is the first one we made. It features all new products from the upcoming Annual catalog!
